Portuguese term or phrase: horário acrescido
This is from an economic-adjustment programme document for the Madeira islands. The context is a section about government personnel and reforms to the payment system.

The full phrase is:

Revisar o regime de horário acrescido

From what I've found so far, it appears to be an extension of the standard work week up to 42 hours.

increased work week


Explanation:
e.g.

The increased work week will increase the deputy’s base salaries as well as increased annual and sick leave accrual rates and retirement and life insurance costs. The increased salary and benefit expenditures will be offset by savings in overtime costs due to lowered overtime earning potential, or “gap pay” overtime.

He believes with a change in the service and the increased work week, they can save approximately $600,000 and once they have made the transition they will have an accurate figure of what their benchmark would be.

The new formal practices were congruent with the values in the culture. For example, the executives laid off about 15,000 people, or almost one-third of the workforce. But they did it in a relatively transparent, compassionate way, with a clear rationale for those chosen to leave, and with pay increases and stock options (along with an increased work week) for those who remained.
